Ingredients
  

Filling Ingredients
  • 3 large large eggs Make sure your eggs are at room temperature for better mixing.
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup cane syrup or light corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 heaping tablespoon all-purpose flour If you prefer a firmer pie, you can add a little more flour.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped Toast the pecans in the oven for a few minutes before adding them to enhance their flavor.
  • 1 unbaked homemade or commercial pie crust A store-bought pie crust works well and saves time.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch glass pie plate.
Mixing the Filling
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy, then gradually stir in the sugar until smooth.
  2. Add the cane syrup and softened butter, blending until silky.
  3. Mix in the flour and vanilla, being careful not to overbeat.
  4. Gently fold in the chopped pecans.
Baking
  1. Pour the filling into the pie crust.
  2. Bake for 55–60 minutes until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, covering the edges with foil halfway through.
  3. Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing.
